[plt-scheme] Google APIs

Recently the subject of working on spreadsheet data through a CSV file
came up -- which made me think of trying to play with the google API.
The result is a cute piece of code that reads your google email &
password (it only uses the password to authenticate you -- it's
probably possible to do without it if you want to read public
spreadsheets), retrieves the names of spreadsheets you have there and
asks you to choose one, then it retrieves the spreadsheet, parses the
xml into a nice list of lists, and finally prints a formatted table.

It's not nearly as robust as a library should be, but the pieces are
all there -- and it probably wouldn't be hard to improve it and even
come up with some google api library (I got the impression that most
of the google apis are very similar and uniform).  So I'm posting it
in case someone is interested in doing such work...
